Our football expert Evan Psarras with his thoughts on Day 5 of the World Cup. Spain vs Cape Verde 4:00am Tuesday | Atlanta Stadium Spain Win Both Halves ($1.75) Four years ago Spain began their campaign with a crushing 7-0 win over Costa Rica only to be stunned by Morocco in the Round of 16. On paper this one is a complete mismatch. Spain secured their place in the tournament by winning their first 5 qualifiers by a combined score of 20-0. That included a 6-0 win away to Turkey so the key for Cape Verde here will be defence.…

Our football expert Evan Psarras with his thoughts on Day 4 of the World Cup. Germany vs Curacao 5:00am Monday | Houston Stadium Germany Over 3.5 goals ($1.70) Like Haiti and Panama, Curacao have capitalised on the absence of the co-hosts in the CONCACAF qualification process. This is their first appearance in the finals and they face the ultimate well-oiled machine that is Germany. They are four-time champions and have been in the type of form that saw them win this competition in 2014.

Qatar vs Switzerland 7:00am Sunday | San Francisco Bay Area Stadium Switzerland WIN/Under 3.5 goals ($1.91) Qatar took part in the finals for the first time four years ago as the host nation. This time around they have earned their spot through qualification but have had a disrupted lead-up with three friendlies cancelled. They have played one match this year and it was a 1-0 loss to Ireland. They begin their campaign against a Swiss team that has been incredibly consistent for an extended period.…

Our football expert Evan Psarras with his thoughts on Day 2 of the World Cup. Canada vs Bosnia & Herzegovina 7:00am Saturday | Toronto Stadium Both Teams To Score – NO ($1.73) Things did not go well for Canada four years ago in Qatar. They qualified for the first time since 1986 but failed to collect a single point. This time around on home turf they will be hopeful of recording their first ever win in the tournament. Any success they do have will be on the back of defence as Under 2.5 goals is 9-0 in their last 9…

Our football expert Evan Psarras with his thoughts on the opening two matches of this year’s World Cup. Mexico vs South Africa 7:00am Friday | Mexico City Stadium Under 2.5 goals ($1.70) Since 2006 a host nation has taken part in the opening match of the tournament. They boast a healthy record of three wins, one draw and one loss with Qatar the only side to taste defeat since the turn of the century. The draw in that list was a match played between these two nations – the opening game of the 2010 edition in South Africa (1-1). Under…

With the World Cup just around the corner and the expanded format shaking things up, the path to the trophy matters more than ever and that’s where the value is. Tournament Winner Spain ($5.50) With the tournament expanded to 48 teams and 32 of those teams progressing to the knockout stages, the bracket will play a significant part in the outcome. Spain cruised in qualification. They maintained five clean sheets in their first five games and scored 20 of their own. The 2-2 draw in the final group game was a dead rubber, so we won’t give any weight to…
